Microconnect V-UTP6A0015G-schlank Cavo di rete verde 0,15 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

CAT6a slim cables are an updated version of CAT6 slim cables designed for installations where saving space in IT racks and cabinets is important. These slim Ethernet cables have a reduced diameter and increased flexibility, improving accessibility for installers, enabling quicker switching and better cable management. The slimmer profile also improves airflow inside racks, which can help reduce the risk of downtime. All cables are tested to 500 MHz / 1000 Mbps (CAT6a standard) and are backward compatible with CAT6, CAT5e and CAT5. Each cable is fitted with a snagless boot to protect the connector during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The slim construction (approx. 3.6 mm diameter) and high flexibility make these CAT6a cables easier to route behind panels and in crowded racks while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE++ for modern network devices. LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission in case of fire. Gold-plated pins ensure reliable signal contact and corrosion resistance. Backward compatibility ensures interoperability with existing CAT6/CAT5e/CAT5 networks.

How to use

Route the CAT6a slim cable through racks, cable channels or behind faceplates, taking advantage of its reduced diameter to minimize space usage. Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device or switch port and the other end to the destination device. The snagless boot protects the clip during pull-through installations; ensure the connector clicks into place to confirm a secure connection. For PoE applications verify the power class and switch compatibility before deployment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than recommended by the manufacturer and keep cable runs away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Use in environments where LSZH is required for safety compliance and choose appropriate lengths to maintain tidy rack installations.
